@humanity:I would hope so, honestly. Not because everyone is yelling and they need to throw Dan to the wolves or anything. But I'd hope that they can see that presenting this series as something with continuity and roleplaying, and then just destroying the entire "narrative" that you have with XCOM is like handing me salt when I was promised sugar.
I like when GB roleplays, it's fun, and some of them are quite good at it. Dan is clearly not though, and has shown to not be able to step away from the meta-narrative and that's fine. It's just ill-fitting for a feature such as this, and that's what I hope they realize.
I'm sorry, but I really have no interest in getting invested in a running feature if every other episode is going to be this insincere nonsense Dan pulls out every once in a while. I would've personally liked to see the commanders work together in good faith, to try and get through this.
I hope you make it, though I'm not very convinced you will at this point. I'm out.
@jackiechansfoot: Regardless of his excuses, I was very close at chugging my headset out my window when he mentioned at the very end that he hadn't played Super Hot at all, but he toooootally knew everything about its style.
If anyone had tried to play that trick with Doom or the like, he wouldn't have had any of it. Brad's tactics get dumber every year. I get that he has favorites, but holy shit.
I don't even mind that Brad wanted to spoil UC4, since all that means is that I turn off the podcast 4 minutes early this week. Big whoop. The problem for me has always been that Brad only ignores it when it fits him. The fact that he even asked the crew to not spoil a game on a GOTY podcast a couple of years ago, in the best story category, is inane.
Just a thing that really bothers me everytime it comes up. Complete hypocrisy.
